3 weeks left!

hi all,
this is getting real close I can smell it! very excited!!

so how is my training.goingnk well I've cocked 70 miles this week, 10% road, 50% flat trail and 40% very hilly rocky mountain trail. perfect!
I've notdone much on the way of cross-training, but yoga. I think with things getting so close I'll be fine. when I start my taper.next week i'll replace running.with swimming more, to keep the fitness their.

I am very happy with the way i nave trained in terms of the terrain I've been running on, but I still fear the heat and hope it doesn't just cripple me...

I have most of.my kit now, just need the running shoes, and still haven't decided what to wear.. I'm thinking Inov8 ultra trial shoes. but I Need to get a pair to try them...
another thing coming to the desert is a loaf or two of Soreen! great lightish and carb packed, and also my new sponsor. but seriously, I have been eating them for years but a lot More recently, my recent 'bonking' episodes when out on my long runs are due to me not taking on board enough carbs..
so PSP22 and Soreen malt loaf will be powering me up those dunes! lol.

I'm on 2days of rest, then heading for the lakedistrict Wednesday morning till sunday, and meet up with Sale Harriers on Fri eve. nope to get over 100 miles covered and be pretty Much self sufficient. will see how many wainwights I can bag! ;)

happy running all!
Carl
